Novak Djokovic’s reign as a dominant force in tennis faces questions after a shocking third-round loss at the US Open. The reigning champion admitted to playing his worst tennis ever and attributed his early exit to fatigue from his Olympic gold medal win in Paris.
The Paris 2024 Olympics concluded with a dazzling closing ceremony, leaving behind a legacy of thrilling sporting moments. Notably, four nations etched their names in history by securing their inaugural Olympic gold medals. Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred dominated the women’s 100 meters, Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo claimed the men’s 200 meters, Dominica’s Thea LaFond triumphed in the triple jump, and Guatemala’s Adriana Ruano Oliva secured gold in the women’s trap event.
Rafael Nadal, aiming for Olympic gold, started his Paris 2024 campaign with a hard-fought victory over Martin Fucsovics in the first round. The Spaniard’s win sets up a highly anticipated second-round match against top seed Novak Djokovic.
